As we all know, its extremely irritating and difficult to play when we're constantly lagging.

Because of the lag, players that usually to go solo or play in a party and is the only one left alive may end up dying alot due to lag. It also means we're here wasting energy reviving due to an issue that wasn't caused by the player (such as being unskilled), making us unable to play and enjoy the game to the fullest.

Basically, I'm just suggesting to put "fixing the lag" as the highest priority task. Also, you can change the revival cost from energy to crowns or something temporarily until the lag is fixed and fully confirmed by the players to be fixed.

I know there are already multiple threads which already offer solutions, and I'm sure that everyone already knows how to fix this. But "knowing how to do something" and "actually doing it" are different things.

I'm also aware that "players needing more energy because they died because of the lag" may force players to spend money buying Crystal Energy when they require it, but it is more likely that they would just give up and quit.

Its more likely they would buy more CE anyway throughout the game than give up and quit.
Also More $$ for OOO means more $$ to make updates and buy new servers and thus problem solved.
But this wont happen soon because lag isn't just their fault, yes its a big cause, but other problems on the user end results in lag too

Plus F2P makes players rage at how OOO supposedly steals their money that they decide to spend on their own free will

To those people, Stay in your skill level and stop complaining.
Though I do think this should be their top priority so +1 to you

I just doubt this will happen

Why don't add CE-supplied

Why don't add CE-supplied servers worldwide?

Example:
European users, to support 1 server located in central Europe, have to buy X CE per month
Online, there will be bars showing the percentage of monthly CE buyings for each server, so users will more willingly donate/buy CE to support 24/24 lag-free gameplay

This would be a pratical, verifiable and user-driven version of what Xylka said:
"Also More $$ for OOO means more $$ to make updates and buy new servers and thus problem solved."

It is already done with success with forums servers, where users donate each month, and it will happen for spiral knights, too.

Can you cite one forum what

Can you cite one forum what isn't also ad-supported or hosted porn? If 4chan and Phael has shown anything, is that their user base won't take action until its on the brink of shutdown... even then reaching the goal is a tough stretch. Most forums only get by because they aren't typical for-profit organizations.

An actual business can't run with that kind of risk. If funding becomes THAT much of an issue, they will typically move to a subscription service or shutdown the failing portion to avoid drain on the ones that are profitable.
